Origin[]
Korny Kat is a poor, hungry little kitty cat that is seen in Pantry Panic. He appears as a tall, black-furried cat.
Korny has been traveling during the winter looking for for food. He arrives at Woody's house, telling the audience he's really hungry, so hungry that he would even eat a woodpecker. He knocks on Woody's door and Woody, who had been starving for a month and hallucinating, attends the door.
The two immediately decide to eat each other, so Woody invites him inside and strangles Korny with his own scarf, then throw him inside a stove to cook him. The act escapes and kicks Woody inside the stove, using a cleaver to attack Woody as he tries to escape. Woody escapes, so he starts throwing furniture at him, trapping him in the wall with a fork.
Woody knocks him inside a pan on his fireplace, but Korny picks him up and the two start beating each other, but their fight is interrupted by a moose which shows up on the doorstep, so the two stop fighting and run after the moose. The next scene shows the two ate the moose down to it's bones, but as soon as the food is over they decide to go at each other again.
It is unknown what happened to them afterwards, but considering he didn't appear in subsequent cartoons, it's possible that Woody won and devoured him.
